2026 National Club Championship Continues, WC Eagles are U-16 Champions

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – WC Eagles took home another gold medal this Saturday, finishing as national champions at the 2026 U-16 National Club Championship, presented by Harrow Sports.

It was three hot and humid days at the Virginia Beach Regional Training Center in Virginia Beach, Va. 24 teams from across the country fought through pool play, to crossovers, to final placements. The semifinal matches featured WC Eagles and Next Level, two Pennsylvania powerhouses, and a cross-country clash between the northeast's AGH and Texas Pride.

The game between WC Eagles and Next Level was intense, with the former winning in sudden-victory shootouts. AGH took a narrow 3-2 victory over Texas Pride to advance to the final. WC defeated AGH, 2-0, to claim gold, while Next Level won 5-1 over Texas Pride to go home with the bronze.

USA Field Hockey would like to congratulate all of the teams, athletes, and coaches who participated. And thank you to the umpires, umpire managers, and volunteers who continue to make the NCC a success.

The 2026 NCC will continue with the final division, U-19 Girls, from Sunday, June 28 through Tuesday, June 30. For more information about the 2026 National Club Championship, visit the event page.
